Southern Heat: A Love Worth Running To

Nadia Mitchell was never handed a soft life. At just 15 years old, she lost both her parents in a tragic home invasion that shook her world and forced her into survival mode. Now 22, she's a full-time dancer at Club Vixen in Savannah, Georgia, grinding to make ends meet and raise her daughter under the watchful eye of her Aunt Loraine - the only family she has left.

Rico Barnes - a sm ooth-talking, street-savvy New York hustler who came down South looking for a fresh start. He stays with his Uncle Tee, who runs a popular lawn care service by day... but Rico? He moves a little differently when the sun goes down. Fast money, fast life - and he made it all look easy.

When Rico first saw Nadia, it was like Savannah heat met gasoline. Sparks flew. Emotions flared. And for a while, it felt like love. Real love. The kind Nadia thought only existed in her dreams. But dreams turn to dust when lies, secrets, and street life start creeping in. Rico changes. Their bond cracks. And the man she thought would save her might be the one who breaks her the most.

Now a mother and a woman with scars, Nadia is forced to ask herself:
Was it ever real? Or was she just another chapter in Rico's story?

As new love interests emerge and long-hidden truths come to light, Nadia stands at a crossroads - torn between the history she can't forget and the future she's not sure she deserves. Can she walk away from the only man she's ever loved... or is there still something worth saving in the fire they started?

Southern Heat is a gripping, emotional tale of betrayal, motherhood, resilience, and love that burns deep in the Dirty South. In Savannah, everything is personal - and some love stories come with a body count.

"Southern heat burns, but heartbreak scorches."
